Early reviews suggest they are not being sold independantly, and yup, thematically, sound wise, titles all say double album. The Tom Waits releases last year were very different animals, but with this Lambchop release, first impressions say one cohesive whole. bruno np: Awcmon or NoYouCmon, not sure which!

ribot guitars - non guitarists stop reading
by Martin Schmitz-Ohrndorf 21 Jan '04

21 Jan '04

Hey, here's another question on many of the listmembers fav guitarist marc ribot. I know this is some how stupid but guitar players love to speculate over equipment. In Scheuermans film "Sabbath in Paradise" ribot says something like 'let's stop talking, now i'm gonna show you my guitars'. So here's the question: What guitars, effects, amps does the man use? I guess he has a old Gibson ES-135 semiacoustic which he uses with the cubanos. Is that one of those that are completely hollow? With the rootless cosmopolitans he had a surnburst tele, i think it was a ESP. With shrek he used a blue strat, as far as i remember. And on zorn stuff like bar kokhba he used another semiacoustic, a red one? Don't know what that was. In solo concerts he played on a old gibson acoustic (i think i read this somewhere) plus a really fucked up electric which he got from lindsay (or was it sharp?). All of it goes through fender amps mostly, I guess. Couldn't count the effects though, no idea. not much digital stuff. Sorry for boring the non-guitarists, no promotion intended. And i surely know that creating a sound most of all needs a real musician. so cheers martin

Oh sorry, the filmmaker is claudia heuermann, not scheuerman. Here film from around 1998 or so is about jewish music in nyc and features musicians like zorn, ribot, anthony coleman and more. Interesting stuff. I think she's from germany. There has been discussion around here about here latest zorn film which will be released on tzadik some day, as far as i know. martin Efrén del Valle <efrendv(a)yahoo.es> 21.01.2004 17:00 An: Martin Schmitz-Ohrndorf <schmitz-ohrndorf(a)adesso.de>, zorn-list(a)mailman.xmission.com Kopie: Thema: Re: ribot guitars - non guitarists stop reading Hi, --- Martin Schmitz-Ohrndorf <schmitz-ohrndorf(a)adesso.de> escribió: > In Scheuermans film "Sabbath in Paradise" > ribot says something > like 'let's stop talking, now i'm gonna show you my > guitars'.

Massacre/Celluloid
by Perfect Sound Forever 21 Jan '04

21 Jan '04

Hi all, Just picked up the (1997) reissue of the Golden Palominos' debut on Celluloid. Great album and not much in common with their later work. Bruce at Downtown Music told me that Celluloid material flickers in and out of print all the time, getting licensed to different labels. With that in mind, Bill Laswell got a hold the tapes of Massacre's Killing Time for himself. Frith is planning to put out the material, possibly on his own label and there may be included some live material from that time (which would be great).

umezu / ribot
by Martin Schmitz-Ohrndorf 21 Jan '04

21 Jan '04

speaking of ribots funky playing I recently rediscovered kozutoki umezus recordings w/ ribot (eclecticism, first deserter and pandoras cocktail) which are all great. I can recommend these albums to anyone who wants to hear ribot as a sideman pick up a telecaster (if so) in contrast to the zorn sideman stuff. I think pandoras cocktail is very hard to get. It features wollesen, ribot and brad jones playing some cool tunes. ribot plays jazzy solos, twangy notes and umezus playing is entertaining in a very positive way. So, has anyone seen mr. umezu perform somewhere? Is kiki his current band, what are they like?

is Tzadik releasing too much
by Edgar Lee 21 Jan '04

21 Jan '04

I'm looking forward to the new Anthony Pateras CD on Tzadik. His last two CDs on Melbourne, Australia labels as well as his live performances have been wonderful explorations of prepared piano and electroacoustic improv. His style can be chaotic and explosive. So I'm glad Tzadik are releasing his new one. Edgar Np Spontaneous Music ensemble http://personals.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo! Personals New people, new possibilities. FREE for a limited time.

Bit of a belated response, but anyway... Off Note have a website here: http://www.offnote.com/ They do claim to do online ordering, so it might be worthwhile dropping them a line. The mechanics of dealing with the smaller Japanese labels can be difficult though, as they rarely take credit cards and haven't heard of Paypal. But as a label, Off Note tend to keep stuff in print, and both of the Umezu things still seem to be available. For what's worth, here are the catalogue numbers: First Deserter is ON-07, and Pandoras Cocktail is ON-35. There's a few other nice things on the label - a release by Compostela (who had a Tzadik outing a few years ago), lots of obscure Okinawan stuff, various things involving Japanese free(ish) pianist Harada Yoriyuki, a blasting quartet record with Mikami Kan... The label's email is: info(a)offnote.com Alan > it´s on a label called OFF NOTE. I´m searching for this release for years > without success. I think it´s only released in Japan without distribution > anywhere... > > I´ve seen the Eclecticism band around 10 years ago at the Saalfelden > festival - absolutely killer! > > Andreas > > np: Susie Ibarra - Songbird Suite (Tzadik) > >> speaking of ribots funky playing I recently rediscovered kozutoki umezus >> recordings w/ ribot (eclecticism, first deserter and pandoras cocktail) >> which are all great.

I have promos of the new Lambchop records, and I don't know what they're up to acting like they're separate albums. They're sonically and thematically very similar, feel like one "double album" instead of two separate, and will be sold together. I think it's their finest work yet, too. Amazingly good. andrew

RE: Boston

Sorry for plugging everyone's mailbox with this, however I wanted to thank those from the list who sent recommendations for my recent visit to Boston this past weekend. The Twisted Village was the highlight (next to the opening night of Gomez's new tour last night at the Paradise, KILLER!!!!) and I would thoroughly encourage any of those on the list in the area of Cambridge or those wanting to visit to check out the place! Tons of great rare stuff and the used bins were stocked with great finds. I walked out with used copies of Cobra: Tokyo Operations and Melt Banana's Tzadik release for very, very cheap! We also almost caught Sunburned Hand of Man at the Middle East last night after the Gomez gig, but unfortunately could not muster up the courage to brave the cold, cold Boston weather for the trip. Did anybody go?
